I have no exact mileage information for this day because we used the tour company's GPS routing in their phone app and that information is no longer available to us.  Whatever the mileage was, we rode more than that.... and then some.  This post is r...

  The House of the Mayor of Katowice from 1820, yes, that's not a mistake. Today's city of Katowice in 1820 was still a village whose sheriff was the village head. Katowice was granted city rights only in 1865. The oldest district of Katowi...

Our first rest day and I'm glad to sleep in a bit, enjoy a leisurely breakfast knowing that the only thing on our agenda today is laundry and a walk to the old city to see the things my husband has on his bucket list here.    I really don't have a li...
